Di-μ-chlorido-dichlorido­bis{8-[2-(di­methyl­amino)­ethyl­amino]­quinoline}dicadmium monohydrate

The title complex, [Cd(2)Cl(4)(C(13)H(17)N(3))(2)]·H(2)O, is centrosymmetic and contains two Cd(2+) ions bridged by two Cl(−) ions, leading to a strictly planar Cd(2)Cl(2) core. Each Cd(2+) ion is further coordinated by an additional Cl(−) ion and three N atoms of a tridentate 8-[2-(di­methyl­amino)­ethyl­amino]­quinoline ligand in the form of a considerably distorted octa­hedron for the overall coordination sphere. A lattice water mol­ecule is located on a twofold rotation axis and links pairs of complexes through N—H⋯O and O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
